About the Cornwall Wildlife Trust

The Cornwall Wildlife Trust is a charity - founded in 1962 - and fulfils a role occupied by no other countryside organisation. We are concerned solely with Cornwall and deal with all aspects of conserving the county's wildlife and habitats. We have already established many nature reserves, in which examples of each of Cornwall's habitats may give refuge to nationally rare and endangered species.

Our detailed knowledge of Cornwall's habitats, based on years of survey work, places us in a unique position to defend the wildlife outside nature reserves. Our advisory work includes over 400 consultations each year from the County and District Councils on planning applications.

We seek to raise awareness amongst the adult public of today and, through schools and youth groups, the decision makers of tomorrow. We also have specialist groups working on a variety of conservation projects. These groups are mostly made up of keen volunteers.

An important resource to ourselves and the county as a whole is the Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (ERCCIS). They have been based at our headquarters since 1997. They manage and make available a huge amount of wildlife and earth science information relating to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Since 1992 we have also had our own consultancy arm, Cornwall Environmental Consultants, which raises funds for the Cornwall Wildlife Trust by taking on paid consultancy work.
